The popular franchise may have stalled out because of previously reported script issues and the loss of director Joe Carnahan.

But that doesn’t mean Lawrence isn’t busy. He has multiple television projects in the works that he plans to act in, produce and write. “It’s in the early stages,” he said. “We’ll see what happens.”

The comedian was most enthusiastic about his new emoji app, MartinMojis, which features characters and catchphrases from the classic show.

“So many people come up to me [and say] ‘What’s up?!'” he said of the decision to become the latest celebrity with a dedicated line of emojis, a group that includes Amber Rose, Kim Kardashian and Blac Chyna. “Everyone else has emojis, why not me?”

Though he’s willing to walk down memory lane to “Martin” a bit, Lawrence, who got engaged in April, doesn’t necessarily identify with any of his onscreen alter-egos.

“I know who I am,” he said firmly. “I’m a blessed child of God, and I know exactly who I am, so I don’t confuse myself with any of my characters. I am Martin Lawrence.”
